Our Wedding

Back in the day we would call each other "chainsaw buddies" after we rode the chainsaw ride at the local fair. We were strangers then. Several years later, we became best friends. We bonded over music, attending a concert together almost every weekend. We spent many nights at the park, laughing over a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and grape juice. Or sharing a movie together at the theater and an ice cream cone. He had a love for Marvel- which in turn would make me love it too. Buying a beautiful home and getting our dog (our whole world)-Nova has been such a great adventure. We got engaged at the Disney castle- and have been preparing since for a beautiful wedding to share our love with all of you. Spending the past decade together has been the most amazing time of our lives. We are so excited for this next chapter of our story.

Our Story

Photos

My parents are the best parents ever. They take me on so many adventures. We love to go get pup cups together! After I chased a squirrel, I hurt myself really bad and I am so happy I had my mom and dad to take care of me after surgery. We love to go to Tennessee together! Even if the bees stung my paws. We have the best times together and I can't wait to watch my parents finally get married! Oh and to meet all of you!!

Travis and Erik met in 2nd/3rd grade. They have been close friends since then. They played football together in highschool, and Erik followed Travis to two different jobs. They were inseparable at work, and their co-workers insisted they were a couple! Erik’s wish for the bride and groom would of course be for infinite wishes, but if that's not an option, he wishes for them to have a marriage full of exciting adventures and blissful repose.

Erik

Tanner met Travis the second day he was alive. He grew up with Travis. Tanner remembers playing whatever game was big at the time with Travis, spending the night in Travis’s room, and going to movies at the Lindo. Tanner feels Travis is the brother he never had and is one of the nicest and best people he has ever met. Tanner wishes the couple "nothing but the best and both of their lives to be filled with happiness!”

Wesley met Travis about 4 or 5 years ago when Wesley’s fiance bought a Doctor Who lamp from Travis. Somehow in the conversation, Marvel came up. The next thing Wesley knew, he was going to check out a stranger’s basement! Now, Wesley says Travis is like the brother he never had. Wesley‘s wish for the couple is this: “I wish for them to always find happiness in each other and for Amanda to always be ok with what ever crazy Marvel memorabilia or experience Travis gets into!”
